No extensions are included in the MediaWiki distribution; that's why they're *extensions*. :) If there ever were, this was an accident.
Couldn't extensions that are present in WikiPedia be distributed with the rest of the release? You could force the users to explicitly include them by editing LocalSettings.php to enable them, if you don't want to be responsible for supporting them.
Perhaps what Tom and I are asking is that Graphviz be installed on WikiPedia, as EasyTimeline is. That should bring it to a wider audience, and present fewer hassles to people who are trying to get it installed elsewhere. ("Well, hey: if it's good enough for WikiPedia, it's good enough for me!" :-)
Once we get some additional preference hooks set up I'll even be moving texvc out into extensions...
... where it is more accessible to those who want to build complicated extensions...!
